Other models of Hauora have been designed. For example, in 1997, Moeau suggested that a fifth dimension, whenua (connection with the land), be added to the original model. In 2001, Hokowhitu also tried to have whenua added to the Tapawha model but again it was not added.

The Hauora has been integrated into primary and secondary schools in New Zealand to allow students to learn and understand the traditional Māori aspects of well-being.
